Re: [PATCH] Fix swap entry for MIPS32 36-bit physical address

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

   With 64-bit physical address enabled, 'swapon' was causing kernel oops
on Alchemy CPUs (MIPS32) because of the swap entry type field corrupting the
_PAGE_FILE bit in pte_low. So, change layout of the swap entry to use all bits
except _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_FILE (the harware protection bits are loaded
from pte_high which should be cleared by __swp_entry_to_pte() macro) -- which
gives 25 bits for the swap entry offset.

WBR, Sergei
